B：Yeah! I am here with my friend and he thinks it may be the spark plug or the starter motor.是的，我和朋友在一起，他認為可能是火花塞或起動電動機的問題。

A：Those are possible problems, but tell me, when you turn the key, do you hear the starter motor crank?這些都可能存在問題。但是你先告訴我，當你轉動鑰匙時，你聽到發(fā)動機轉動了嗎?

B：Yeah, it sounds like it usually does when I start the car, but nothing else happens. The engine won’t start. Should I maybe press the accelerator?是的，聲音挺起啦和平時發(fā)動車子時是一樣的，但是車并沒有發(fā)生什么。引擎并沒有發(fā)哦那個，我應該踩油門嗎?
